They went down to the sea in ships	A
In ships they went down to the sea	B
In boats hewn of oak tree strips	A
In galleys with skin sewn sails	C
In triremes caravels brigs	C
Frail flimsily rolling rigs	C
They went down where the huge wave rips	C
Where the black storm lashes and hales	C
They went down to the sea in ships	C
To the sounding sorrowing sea	C
	-
They go down to the sea O me	C
What ships that outbrave the sea	C
What ships that outrun the gale	D
With a feather of steam for a sail	D
And a whirling shaft for an oar	E
Are the ships that my brothers build	F
To carry me over the sea	C
That my hand with treasures filled	F
May knock at the morrow's door	E
	-
Steel hulls impenetrable	G
To the waves that tease and pull	H
Bright engines that answer the beat	I
Of their foam slippered dancing feet	I
Hot fires that shudder and drive	J
Close tended untiring sure	K
Like queen bees deep in the hive	J
Who labor and serve and endure	K
All these are down below	L
Far under the slippery water	M
While the babe sleeps soft in his bed	N
And the banquet table is spread	N
And my neighbor's laughing daughter	M
Trims her hair with a rose red bow	O
	-
They went down to the sea in ships	C
In ships they went down to the sea	C
And the sea had a million lips	C
And she laughed in her throat for glee	C
And the floor of the sea was strewn	P
With tempest trophies dread	N
	-
And the deep sea currents croon	P
As they wash through the bones of the dead	N
But the ships that my brothers build	F
Ah they mock at the storm's mad rage	Q
And their burning hearts are thrilled	F
When he throws them his battle gauge	Q
On the sea foam they lean for a pillow	L
They drive without paddle or sail	D
Straight over the mountainous billow	L
Straight on through the blustering gale	D
Oh they shake out gay flags as they run	R
Flags that flutter and gleam in the sun	R
From the tip of their turrets above	S
They send news of the storm to the shore	E
And they hear from afar through the roar	E
Down the cloud built aisles of the sky	T
Some land bound lady's cry	T
To her ocean wandering love	S
	-
They go down to the sea in ships	C
In ships they go down to the sea	C
And my brothers the masterful free	C
Fear no more the white foam of her lips	C
They have won her she harks to their wooing	U
The love of ten thousand years	C
The suing the wild undoing	U
The faith unto death the tears	C
Oh their glory her song shall be	C
Soft soft is the kiss of her lips	C
They go down to the sea in ships	C
In ships they go down to the sea	C
